lyrics

Green with Envy

You're green with envy.
& though I swore you, once, the enemy,
I'll let it slide, just this one time.

This is the requiem for your ego;
the eulogy for your vanity.
Climb atop the pulpit & shout "hallelujah!"

Before I'm through with you, you'll wish you never met me.
But with that photographic memory,
you can't forget my face.

Your world is ending.
The sun explodes.
We would all be better off
if you would let this go.

In the past, I've thought it best
to let liars & thieves get their rest.
Nevermore, however, will I let sleepers lie.

& about your inability to swallow pride
& all that screaming all the time,
cross my heart & hope to die, I'll make you unhappy.

Let go. It's over.

I'll sully your reputation
while you sully the knees you should be repenting on.
